It’s what you’d expect from an organisation that is part of the world-leading University of Cambridge.

With the Cambridge Pathway, students build more than just a deep understanding of their subject. They also develop higher order thinking skills so that they can apply what they’ve learned. Cambridge qualifications are accepted and valued by universities around the world, including MIT, Harvard and Cambridge. They are recognised as qualifications that prepare and equip students with the skills they need to succeed both at university and beyond. Universities confirm that they value the independent research and critical thinking skills, as well as the deep subject knowledge that Cambridge qualifications bring.
